Cost, as he is not as I understand it a pro user, they are less racy than the 550 and 560 but excellent quality, and feel free to shoot me down but are more accepting of any warranty unlike some I could mention .

Yeah....according to Stihl, they have never made a faulty machine when it comes to warranty claims and paying out.

My advice ( as it always is ) is to buy the best pro saw you can currently afford . Once you get it , a short period of time will pass  and you won't understand how you ever managed with just this one saw . You will then need another , bigger pro saw , and then another etc etc . Then you will need to get them ported coz that's a thing , and then the snow ball keeps on rolling ! 🙂

Not in agreement about ported saws, but a few hundred extra quid for the best you can get is well worth it imo.

Ok Doobs . What is it you don't like about ported saws ?  ( apart from some being a bit louder )

They’re too loud, if you’re a logger in the PNW fair enough.
If you’re topping lombardies in Chipping Norton….
